September 12th, 2023Oscar LaDell & the Earth Tones to play the Palais

US-born blues and soul singer Oscar LaDell brings his band The Earth Tones for their first appearance at Palais-Hepburn later this month.

Drawing influence from the greats of 20th Century American Roots Music, LaDell and The Earth Tones play The Palais on Friday September 29 in what promises a night to remember, filled to the brim with grooves and ballads.

LaDell (pictured above) is a singer, songwriter and guitarist who brings a timeless vulnerability and passionate approach to his original blend of Soul, Blues & Roots. Hailing originally from Denver Colorado, LaDell grew up in Purakaunui in the South of Aotearoa.

Drawing from the moody and poignant scenes of his home, LaDell writes, plays and sings with incisiveness and depth. With his band The Earth Tones, Oscar’s live shows are incendiary sermons of soul, blending swaying grooves with dynamic storms of guitar and organ, all tied together by Oscar’s magnetic voice.

This month’s September 29 Palais gig gets going from 6.30pm.
